Chapter 40 The vinegar jar is broken

    Bubble bubbles in the milky white soup pot, and the marinated short ribs are placed on the side of the stove, shiny and shiny.

    Hua Yue put the pulled noodles into the pot, stir gently with long bamboo chopsticks, with a focused expression and skilled movements.

    Several cooks in the kitchen stood in the courtyard, craned their necks to take a look, then retracted and continued to mutter.

    “Isn’t it already a concubine? Why are you still doing the next person’s work?”

      Not even a decent master.”

    “But I heard that the third son is quite fond of her.”

    “What kind of virtue is the third son, he will be hot for a while when he arrives in the East Courtyard. When the spring and autumn come, who will take her seriously.”

    But right now, she feels boring.

    “Frosty Girl.” Someone whispered.

    Shuang Jiang’s eyes were red with anger, and he came forward and scolded: “Which master in this yard favors who does not favor who, it is up to you to discuss? She Yin Huayue is not a member of the East Courtyard. Master, you are also in charge of your head, if you don’t want to take the monthly money, you can leave, don’t put it here to get in the way!”

    Several cooks bowed their heads and shrank into a ball.

    Hua Yue smiled at her, and a rare smile entered her eyes: “I’m rushing to give Miss Biao a face.”

     If you just live like this, you might as well learn how to—”

    “Frost.” Huayue interrupted her quickly, frowning.

    The taboo name was swallowed back, Shuang Jiang gritted his teeth and looked dissatisfied.

    Sighing softly, Hua Yue took her out, passed the group of silent cooks, and stepped on the path paved with bluestone.

    “I’m just a servant now.”

    The bowl in the tray was steaming hot, Huayue looked at the front and said softly to her: “The only thing the servant can do is these things, I can’t do it often, and I can’t become Shen Zhiluo, If you’re really disappointed, you can pretend you don’t know me.”

    The lips were almost biting and bleeding, Shuangjiang said angrily: “You are so self-sacrificing, they will only look down on you more and more.”

    “They look up to me, and I’m just a servant of the general’s house.”

    “Lie.” She raised her eyes to look at the man’s profile, her eyes were burning with fire, “Whose servant has this ability to make Xue Ji die silently.”

    After a pause, Huayue subconsciously glanced around, making sure that no one could hear the whisper, so she said with a dark face: “Are you going to die?”

      Bully.”

    Xue Ji was Zhou Heshuo’s confidant. Once he died, the guards would be in chaos for a few months. Go smoothly.

    If Frostfall was the news she received today, she would have thought that Xue Ji’s death was just an accident, and it happened to happen.

    But she heard it yesterday when Yin Huayue got in the car and left.

    At that time, she didn’t understand why the guards in the East Palace would loosen, and she didn’t realize that Yin Huayue had planned it for a long time until they successfully inserted their people into the East Palace just now.

    Even if the third son doesn’t go there, Xue Ji will surely die.

    When was this planned? Shuang Jiang couldn’t understand, but she knew that Yin Huayue was not a useless person in Sun Yaozu’s mouth, she had her own ideas, and even started her calculations.

    These calculations are not even told to her.

    The throat tightened, Frost lowered her eyes, she didn’t know why she was angry, she just stared at her fiercely.

    The noodles in the tray should not blow too much wind, Huayue took the plate and buckled the bowl, suddenly freed up a hand, pinched his thumb, and shook it gently.

    “Is there less people who have bullied me over the years?” She glared at her, smiling slyly and calmly, “What’s wrong with letting them say a few words, life will pass.”

    Shang Shen stern face, unmoved.

      But they didn’t say anything wrong, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.”

      Do you know how many times that Miss Han has come to inquire secretly?”

    The fingertips paused slightly, and Huayue did not start: “I said it, it was a last resort.”

    “Is it really a last resort, or are you pushing the boat?” Shuang Jiang gritted his teeth, “I don’t believe that if you really don’t want to mess with him, is there any other way!”

    “…”

    The pace quickened, she went around the moon gate, and wanted to step into the yard of Miss Biao.

      will suffer.”

    The voice floated up from the back and was inaudible when the wind blew. Hua Yue closed her eyes, stabilized her mind, put on a smile again and pushed open the door of the main house.

    Su Miao fell asleep, the room was quiet, only Li Jingyun turned her head to look at her.

    Take her steps lightly, Huayue put the bowl on the table, and asked in a bewildered low voice, “Miss Biao stopped eating noodles?”

    “How do you eat when you fall asleep?” Glancing at the noodles she brought, Li Jingyun snorted coldly, “It’s mushy.”

      ”

    Away his face contemptuously, Li Jingyun disapproved: “It doesn’t taste good.”

    Not for you. Huayue sighed, flattened her mouth, picked up the bowl and was about to go out.

    “What to do?” he asked.

    “Send the noodles back to the kitchen and see if anyone else wants to eat it.” Hua Yue said, “Miss Biao can’t eat it anyway.”

    With a light cough uncomfortably, Li Jingyun tapped on the table: “The things are left, you go back to the East Court to see if the white deer has been fed.”

    Hasn’t the white deer been fed by Badou all the time? Hua Yue was puzzled in her heart, but she didn’t say much, she answered and put the bowl out.

    Frost didn’t mean to block her, there was no one at the gate of the yard.

    He let out a sigh of relief, Huayue lowered her head and walked towards the East Courtyard, thinking as she walked, Xue Ji died, Shen Zhiluo and Chang Gui will definitely be busy recently, the East Palace is currently arguing with the Zhong Palace Sun Yaozu and Yin Ru were also busy seizing power when she was in charge of the academy, so no one would notice her at all.

    Then she can make trouble with a few more people.

    There are several names in her heart, she repeated it repeatedly, her eyes gleaming with blood.

    “Aunt Yin.” Badou shook his hand in front of her and called her worriedly.

    Hua Yue returned to her senses, and found that she had reached the gate of the East Courtyard at some point, and Ba Dou was holding her broom. Seeing that she finally raised her eyes, she quickly said: “You two didn’t come back last night, you can People are anxious.”

    “What happened?” she asked.

    Badou scratched the back of his head and said, “It’s not a big deal, I just heard… that Miss Han hanged herself yesterday.”

    Oh, hang yourself.

     Huayue nodded and continued to walk in calmly.

    “Wait.” After two steps, she stopped and suddenly turned back, “What did you say? Hang yourself?!”

    Ba Dou nodded and said with the broom handle: “Just last night, someone came to us to spread the word, but the son and you are not here.”

    He felt slightly relieved, Huayue asked him: “Did you say why?”

    “Why is this?” Badou hesitated, and glanced at the empty main house.

    Flower Moon is silent.

    If Su Miao likes someone is enthusiastic and unrestrained, then Han Shuang likes someone is crazy, intoxicated, and endless. What kind of game she set up for her last time, Huayue still can’t see the whole picture, but this time, Huayue knows that she is fighting herself with her life.

    Miss Guimen’s attempt to seek her death would cause a sensation in half of the capital. If it was someone else, the news must be suppressed to prevent people from guessing. But the Han family did not, and they even took the initiative to inform the other half of Jinghua.

    Therefore, the news that “the third son of the Li family is always in chaos and abandoned, and the eldest Miss of the Han family is looking for life” quickly spread throughout the streets and became the hottest after-dinner discussion in Jinghua that day.

    Hua Yue thought that Li Jingyun would be angry, would refuse to see her, or scoff at such a daughter’s behavior.

    No, Li Jingyun took her to the Han Mansion, sat beside Han Shuang’s bed, and let her weep half of her sleeves.

    “I really…really didn’t lie to you.” Han Shuang’s eyes were red, and she was out of breath, “When will you forgive me?”

    Li Jingyun sat quietly, his eyes swept across her eyes and pale lips, not knowing what he was thinking, after a long time he asked, “Do you really want to die?”

    Glancing at him timidly, Han Shuang sniffled and suddenly revealed a tearful smile. Her eyes were erratic, as if recalling something good, and she murmured, “My life is yours, I shouldn’t be looking for a short-term meeting without telling you.”

    While talking, tears fell again: “But, you ignore me, marry someone else, be with someone else, what’s the point of my life.”

    Hua Yue stood next to her, feeling a little uncomfortable. She glanced at Li Jingyun and found that he was looking at Han Shuang intently with the corners of his lips pursed, as if… distressed?

    Seeing the emotion in his eyes, Hua Yue was stunned, and almost looked back in embarrassment, looking down at the tip of her shoe.

    I thought that this person only had disgust and resistance to Han Shuang. This man is really, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.

    “Little sister-in-law.” Wen Guzhi was standing outside the door and suddenly called her.

    Hua Yue returned to her senses and bowed her head to retreat to Li Jingyun. Li Jingyun didn’t look at her, just waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on Han Shuang.

    Little lips, she exited the room and closed the door for the two of them.

    “Little sister-in-law.” Wen Guzhi dragged her into the courtyard, and didn’t smile meaningfully, “It’s hard to stay in that room, I’ll save you.”

    Hua Yue smiled gently, squeezed her hands and said, “There’s nothing wrong with it.”

     Wen Guzhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of disbelief.

      When it comes to private meetings, I don’t have the day.”

    “Like water?” Wen Guzhi thought about it for a while, then suddenly, “Ah, you said that the singer who came by the prince’s side, the third master of the girl won’t move, even if she stays in the room for the night. , certainly nothing.”

    Looking up suspiciously, Huayue felt amused: “Can a man not eat the meat delivered to his mouth?”

    “It’s not a question of whether it’s meat or not.” Wen Gu knew, “The third master is a measured woman, a woman with a purpose, he never touches, no matter how he likes it, he will never have skin relatives, so as not to cause any trouble.”

    He said, but he turned his head to look in the direction of Han Shuang’s boudoir, and said, “This one is the same.”

    “Same?” Huayue chuckled, with a row of teeth showing, “Doctor Wen thinks she didn’t see how the third master and Miss Han were talking, she looks like a water girl. But the horses can’t catch up.”

    Wen Guzhi looked at her with teasing eyes and laughed lightly.

    “Don’t get me wrong.” She pursed her ears and said coldly, “I’m just talking about what I saw.”

    He tilted his head and thought for a while, Wen Guzhi nodded: “they have known each other for so many years, it is inevitable that they are closer than outsiders. It’s just that there are many misunderstandings, and the third master will not be too close to her. The third master said he didn’t want to marry her, then he really didn’t want to, and the little sister-in-law didn’t need to worry too much.”

    What does she have to worry about? Hua Yue sneered in her heart.

    But speaking of it, the third son is really awkward. He was able to risk his life to go to the East Palace to save Han Shuang. people.

    “Wen Imperial Doctor.” She couldn’t help but ask, “If you have a happy girl, would you let her go, or would you marry her back earlier?”

    Wen Guzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a figure flashed across his mind.

    He touched his chin and smiled: “Let it dry.”

    “Why?” Huayue was puzzled, “Be really happy, don’t you want to stay together?”

    “If this is a peaceful and prosperous world, then I will definitely carry her in a sedan chair to welcome her through the door. But not now.” Wen Guzhi shook his head, looked into the distance and said in a very soft voice, “Don’t look at it. Those of us who are dressed in brocade and jade, look bright, and we don’t know how many swords, lights, swords and shadows are behind our backs. Given the current situation, I married her, didn’t I hurt her?”

    “…”

    My heart seemed to be stabbed by something, Huayue unconsciously clenched her sleeves and breathed lightly.

    Wen Guzhi was immersed in his own thoughts, completely unaware of what people who heard this would think. He smashed his lips and murmured, “That little girl doesn’t know when she will understand.”

    I had a tantrum with him yesterday, making him go as far as possible, which is particularly difficult to coax.

    Sighing and sighing for a moment, Wen Guzhi looked up and wanted to talk to Huayue, but found that the person in front of him had left at some point.

    The courtyard was bathed in the warm sun and warm, and it was a beautiful spring, but he was the only one standing, looking left and right, and couldn’t see anyone.

    Wen Guzhi pouted and continued to go back to the pharmacy to make medicine.

    After Li Jingyun finished listening to Han Shuang’s cry, she found that the puppy beside her never came back.

    He went out to look around in wonder, and asked Wen Guzhi in the pharmacy: “Have you seen your little sister-in-law?”

    Wen Guzhi was fanning the fire, and he said without raising his head: “I was still in the courtyard before, but I don’t know where I went.”

    It really is getting more and more outrageous, Li Jingyun frowned and turned away, thinking that this person was quite measured before, and today he is running around on other people’s territory.

    A thought flashed through his mind, and he followed closely.

    The pace quickened, he looked for two rounds near the Han Shuangxiu Building.

    No one.

    The face became more and more ugly, Li Jingyun grabbed the steward of the Han residence, and asked coldly, “Where is the person I brought?”

    The steward was taken aback by him, and said timidly: “I just left through the side door.”

    Gone? alone? Li Jingyun laughed when he heard it: “If you don’t break your two bones, won’t you tell the truth?”

    The housekeeper wailed repeatedly: “Third Young Master, it’s really gone, why don’t you go back and have a look.”

      The servant hurriedly went to invite the master and wife of the Han residence, and a group of people started chattering.

    Ignoring the scolding and condemnation of the Han family, Li Jingyun searched most of the Han mansion with anger, and returned home after confirming that no one could be found. He thought about it, if there was no one in the general’s mansion, he would take someone back and demolish the Han mansion.

    When he got off the carriage, he saw Yin Huayue standing by the east gate of the General’s Mansion.

     Still laughing and talking to people.

    Hua Yue was so roared by the sudden scolding that she couldn’t react, she looked up at him, innocent and dazed.

    “Did you do it on purpose? I want to see you being nervous for a while, angry for you, jumping up and down in a hurry to be satisfied.” He took a deep breath, and the hand holding her shoulder gradually closed. Tight, “When will you women get rid of your thoughts, and you have to make trouble unreasonably to vent your dissatisfaction? Han Shuang hangs, you disappear, does the lord owe you something?”

    She wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t raise, so she could only sip it awkwardly.

    Showing him the medicine bag she was holding in her hand, she explained word by word: “Fang Jiang came to spread the word, saying that Madame’s old illness relapsed, she could not find the prescription, so she asked the servants Come and see the medicine.”

    Shuangjiang on the side was so frightened that his face turned pale, he heard the words and nodded.

    Hua Yue thought about it for a while, but hung up her smile and said softly: “It’s wrong for the slave to leave without knowing it. The slave admits the mistake to the son, and the slave thinks that the son will accompany Han more. Miss, it’s not easy to disturb for a moment, thinking about grabbing the medicinal materials and going back immediately.”

    She folded her hands and bowed her knees respectfully to him: “Slave knows what’s wrong, please forgive me.”

    I took it to my heart in one breath, and was stuck here before I could relax. Li Jingyun pinched her shoulders, not even scolding, as if he couldn’t get down for a while without scolding.

    He just stared at her, gasping for breath.

    I didn’t think it was anything at first, but Huayue’s eyes were a little hot when she was protected like this.

    This person can suffer any kind of grievance. The most fearful thing is that when you are wronged, someone will protect you. The more you protect, the more fierce you cry. Shuangjiang obviously didn’t understand the truth, and half hugged her like an old hen protecting her cub, and patted her lightly.

    She didn’t really want to cry in front of Li Jingyun, it was too embarrassing, so Huayue pushed her away, took out her arrogance and said with a smile: “If you still don’t lose your temper, son. , I’ll punish the slave girl later, let her go to deliver medicine to Madam first, and the slave girl will accompany you back to the Han residence?”

    “No need.” He closed his eyes, walked in with his sleeves, and said coldly, “There is no need to go to the Han residence for the time being, you come with me.”

    “Yes.”

    To grow up so big, Li Jingyun has not yet apologized to anyone, but now he calms down and thinks about it, it seems that the yelling is too much, the little girl’s eyes are red .

    People are not arrogant and arrogant, there is a reason.

    Going into the main house to pour a cup of tea, he touched the edge of the cup and hesitated, how should he say these words, so as not to lose face, but also let people know that he is admitting a mistake.

    Before I could understand, another cup of tea was handed in front of me.

    Yin Huayue held the tea cup in both hands, handed it to him with her head lowered, and said softly, “This cup was just brewed.”

    The attitude seems to be much better than before? Li Jingyun was very puzzled, shouldn’t the little girl be angry when she was wronged, how could she be more obedient?

    But that’s fine, he reached out and took the tea, thinking that dogs should not be too petite, and occasionally get angry, and let her know that she can’t act arbitrarily.

    So he swallowed the words and took a sip of the hot tea with peace of mind.
